Two Saudi patients who underwent cardiac surgery, developed fever after being discharged from hospital. Both received blood transfusion during operation. The cause of fever was found to be due to malaria acquired from the transfused blood. As no single measure could prevent transfusion malaria, clinical awareness of the condition should lead to early diagnosis and management of such cases.
两名接受心脏手术的沙特患者在出院后出现发热。两人在手术期间均接受了输血。发热原因被发现是由于输入血液感染了疟疾。由于没有单一措施能够预防输血性疟疾,对此病症的临床认知应能促使对此类病例进行早期诊断和处理。
